Things Are Getting Really, Really Creepy…
21st June 2022
I had to fly to Boston this weekend to help my sister fix up her new house. I almost didn’t make it back to work on Monday, because my flight was canceled at the last minute, and I had to buy another ticket on another airline, which was canceled, and so on. I made it home eventually, and was less than amused to hear Pete Buttigieg’s statement about the rash of flight cancellations. He said that if the airlines couldn’t fix this problem quickly, then government would be forced to step in.
Ok, so let’s see here. So the government said that a pilot would not be allowed to work unless he had the COVID vaccine. Many pilots chose not to do so, and were fired. Which was fine, as long as nobody was traveling. But once people started to travel again, the airlines couldn’t handle the passenger load because they had fewer pilots available. Because they had fired them last year. Because the government told them to. And now, the government blames the airlines.
